By: Angela Gross There’s been a real buzz in the beauty industry over the last few years about Rosehip Oil and its popularity has increased phenomenally. So just what is Rosehip Oil and what’s all the fuss about?  Rosehip Oil, also known as Rosehip Seed Oil, comes from wild rose varieties like Rose Moschata and Rosa Rubignosa (native to the Southern Andes region) and Rosa Canina (found in parts of Europe, South Africa and Asia). Rosehip Oil is extracted from the seeds of the ‘hip’ or fruit of the rose – this is the bulb that replaces the rose flower once it has dropped its petals. The oil is obtained through a process called “cold pressing”. Good quality organic Rosehip Oil does not have added colours, fragrances or preservatives. It has a subtle woodsy scent and a rich red/orange tinge to it. If you find a Rosehip Oil that is a light yellow colour, it may have been refined. Why is Rosehip Oil so good for your skin? Used by the Egyptians and other ancient civilisations for centuries, Rosehip Oil is renowned for its healing properties. The people of those cultures also recognised its skin and hair care benefits. Rosehip Oil’s benefits come from its numerous naturally occurring nutrients like:
 Not just good for your skin, Rosehip Oil can also be used to moisturise dry hair, help control dandruff and improve the condition of dry, brittle nails.
Rosehip Oil usually has a light texture and is absorbed fairly quickly. Make sure you apply it while your skin is still damp. This helps to ‘lock in’ the moisture. While many people like to use Rosehip Oil on its own, it can also be found in the formulations of many skin care products like cleansers, moisturisers and serums. Alternatively, you can add a few drops yourself to your favourite moisturiser. With celebrities like Miranda Kerr and Victoria Beckman praising the benefits of Rosehip Oil and claims that even the Duchess of Cambridge uses it, Mother’s Nature’s best-kept secret is definitely a secret no more. So, why not give it a try and see if Rosehip Oil is a good match for your skin? As with any new product, you should always do a patch test first to ensure you have no reactions.

 Kosmea's natural Australian skincare range positions itself around Organic Rose-hip oil and plant and flower extracts. All completely natural, organic and not tested on animals. Kosmea Radiance 24/7 Youth Boost If you want a simple, pure, affordable anti-aging remedy, this would be a great choice. Containing seabuckthorn oil, rose hip oil, pomegranate oil and camellia oil. All of the oils are certified organic. Four of the best anti-aging oils combined into one. Sea Buckthorn oil is a natural anti-oxidant, containing anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties (good for acne). Previously I had used a pure sea buckthorn oil on my face, but this combination is so much better. Sea Buckthorm oil on it's own is a bright orange colour, but when it's mixed with the other oils, it's a lot milder and better for applying to the face. Rose-hip oil is well known now for being one of the best wrinke fighters around. Pomegranate protects against free radical damage caused by the sun and promotes cell regeneration. Camellia gives the skin a radiant glow by rejuvenating and restoring. This oil lasts for a long time, as all you need to use is 2-3 drops morning and night. It has a nice, soft scent. Also good to use on the décolletage area. Very good for crows feet and tiny lines around the lips. Kosmea products can be purchased via their website.  |
